Arcana Announces Killing Machine
VANCOUVER (January 26, 2010) - Arcana Studios, an award winning comic book
publisher and transmedia producer, is proud to announce the upcoming
graphic novel, KILLING MACHINE, by screenwriter Scott Milam that is
currently in production.
Killing Machine tells the tale of Franklyn J Hurt, an undercover agent for
the Global Crime Task Force sent to infiltrate the criminal organization
only known as The Syndicate Six. When his cover is blown, his wife taken
and daughter murdered before his eyes, Frank wakes up barely a man, a torso
with an unrecognizable face, hanging in a warehouse and used as an example
for those who betray The Synidicate Six. However, Frank is rescued by
Special Forces and taken to a secret installation where in its depths a
massive facility of alien technology awaits. There Frank is given the
bionic treatment. After rejecting his new duties, Frank seizes an
opportunity to escape and go rogue to find his missing wife and seek
revenge for the murder of his daughter using a new body that gives him the
means to track down and destroy the killers.
Creator Scott Milam is the screenwriter of the upcoming MOTHER'S DAY,
directed by SAW 2-4 and REPO THE GENETIC OPERA'S Darren Lynn Bousman and
starring Jamie King and Rebecca De Mornay. In addition, Milam is currently
adapting Dark Horse's THE SECRET for Universal and THE WOLFMAN producer,
Scott Stuber. Milam originally brought the idea to producer Daniel Alter,
who produced 20th Century Fox's HITMAN and is currently developing the
sequel, as well as a JOHNNY QUEST movie at Warner Bros, KANE AND LYNCH at
Lions Gate with Bruce Willis attached, and the film adaptation of Devil
Due's popular comic book series HACK/SLASH at Rogue. Milam was originally
going to spec the project as a screenplay until Alter had the idea to bring
the project to Arcana to "reverse-engineer" it into a comic book property
before shopping it as a feature film and video-game project.
Arcana Owner and CEO, Sean O'Reilly said, "Working with Scott has been
incredible and it's simply fascinating to see what his mind comes up
with..." Killing Machine is Milam's first foray into comics. The book is
planned as a series of graphic novels illustrated by newcomer Kenneth Loh.
